Abstract excerpt
For the rapid and sensitive detection of p53 'hot spot' mutations, we combined polymerase chain reaction based single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis with sequence specific-clamping by peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) in a one-step reaction tube protocol. For this purpose, we designed two PNA molecules comprising aa 246-250 of exon 7 and aa 270-275 of exon 8, respectively, to suppress the...
